OA advocates worldwide

On Thursday I noted that the wiki of the Information Commons Interest Group of the Canadian Library Association had created a page on Open Access Advocates in Canada.  The focus on Canada made sense to me, but I suggested that if the wiki added pages on other countries, then the set would form of a very useful networking tool and OA speakers bureau.  I'm happy to report that my wish is coming true.

See the new page on Open Access Advocates Worldwide.

For now, it seems that all the pages except the one on Canada are stubs and only registered users can edit them.  But monitor the site and make sure that you're listed. 

When your conference or workshop needs a speaker, or when you're traveling to another country, browse the list.  When your country is considering a national OA policy, make sure the local activists know about it and coordinate to shore up support.
